well with the recent bomb dropped by deron williams, Lakers are one of the teams on his wishlist. I think he leaves the Nets if they fail to acquire Howard.

Do you think the Lakers will acquire one of these players? I don't know if they can get both, but i certainly would rather have Deron Williams than Dwight as we need a PG. But I'm not saying I'd turn down Dwight if we had the chance. Or do we miss out on both?

Deron is tied to Dwight. If you can get Dwight, then the Lakers maybe be able to get Deron. I say Bynum and Dwight straight up and a couple of picks. Then trade Pau to Houston and get Deron Williams and NJ get K Martin and a couple of pieces and draft picks.

I don't think we're going to get either, and what's worse is that even if we get lucky and trade for Dwight, that hardly shores up our inept guard play, lack of facilitators, nonexistent bench, etc. This is a very frustrating year to be a Lakers fan, especially since Mitch Kupchak almost put together what now looks like a ****ing genius trade this summer.

Not sure. I'm hoping for both...but who knows what else Jimmy Buss would screw up this time.

We could have gotten CP3, but noobie Jimmy Buss was not good at playing mind game with David Stern by calling off the second negotiation with NO thinking that will accept original offer. He forgot that there are other offers on the table too, not just his. Damn you Jimmy. I blame you for all the loss.
